How would you go about setting up Mythtv to use "transcode" instead what
ever mythtv uses to transcode right now?

It depends what transcoder you are using. If you use mencoder, it is not
multithreaded, but if you use transcode, it is. I have a core 2 duo and
transcode uses 100% of both of the cpus when it is transcoding. Run
"nuvexport --transcode" to use transcode. Otherwise, you can just run
your
single threaded transcoder twice and transcode two shows at the same
time.
